1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Aortic rupture is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication following a balloon aortoplasty for recoarctation. The treatment of aortic ruptures remains challenging. We present here a 9-year-old girl with Turner syndrome who experienced a life-threatening rupture in her aorta after a balloon aortoplasty for recoarctation. She was successfully rescued by the antegrade deployment of a commercially available iliac limb extension stent-graft via an ascending aortic conduit. Prudent balloon aortoplasty for recoarctation in patients with Turner syndrome is important due to their inherent aortopathy and previous surgical repairs. Possible reasons for an aortic rupture are oversized ballooning and the choice of balloon diameter based only on an angiographic measurement. In agreement with earlier reports, our case also confirms the importance of keeping a commercially available stent graft available to treat this complication that has potentially fatal consequences.
